Parent and Student Code of Conduct

Family/School Relationship Policy

Rising star Preschool is committed to providing a safe and supportive environment which promotes growth and a love of learning for both children and staff. We believe children benefit most from a collaborative relationship between the school and our families to best support a child’s physical, emotional and intellectual growth.

We strive to create an environment of open communication and respectful sharing of concerns that will lead to prompt resolution of any issue to everyone’s satisfaction. Should the need arise, please inform the director of any conflict and we will assist promptly.

Our staff strives to foster the unique potential and growth of each of our children, so it is essential that they feel supported by our school and families. For that reason, we ask for respectful behavior from our parents at all times. We realize that a hostile school environment can be the result of parents who are unsupportive of the school and its mission. We reserve the right to dis-enroll any family at any time without notice for the following behaviors. This includes behavior towards the children, staff or other RSP families. It includes, but is not limited to:

  • Use of inappropriate language towards or in front of staff, families or children
  • Unprofessional behavior
  • Yelling in a loud voice
  • Physical harm or intimidating behavior
  • Threatening or intimidating language or behavior
  • Harassment, including face to face contact and social media
  • Speech that harms the school’s reputation
Student Behavioral Policy

We help children develop empathy, and learn to consider and respect others and the environment around them. Children are encouraged to solve as many of their own problems as possible under the guidance of a staff member. When a staff member intervenes, we use redirection, positive reinforcement and calming moments, which are all used to help children self-regulate their behavior. Parents are included in this discipline process so children can see that both parents and teachers reinforce limit setting and appropriate behavior. Parents are notified verbally or in writing regarding discipline actions taken by the teacher, to better aid the child in improving their behavior We enact a multi-step process to counsel families when the following have occurred:

  • A child displays aggressive behavior for an excessive amount of time.
  • The behavior is inappropriate and excessive for the child’s age.
  • Parents are unwilling to support the child and school in the remediation of the behavior.
  • Parents are unwilling to seek outside professional help, if deemed necessary.

In the interest of maintaining a safe and productive learning environment, RSP reserves the right to exclude any child from the program for a specified period of time or to terminate any child’s enrollment if the behavior cannot be corrected. In addition, RSP has the authority to release a child at any time who is posing a safety risk to themselves, other children or staff. Examples of unacceptable behaviors include, but are not limited to: excessive hitting, biting, pinching, pushing, kicking, profane language, excessive tantrums or excessive non-compliance. Rising star Preschool maintains appropriate staff/student ratios to ensure the best possible experience for our children and we are unable to provide one-on-one care.

No Smoking Policy

Rising star Preschool buildings and property are designated as nonsmoking areas, as per California state law. This includes playgrounds, buildings, parking lots, sidewalks and 50-ft perimeter around our buildings. All employees follow strict adherence to our nonsmoking policy. We ask parents to respect this policy as a matter of consideration for students and staff.

We Encourage Getting Messy & Play Policy

“Dressing for success in preschool means dressing for a mess.” Rising star preschool strongly encourages our students to play and get messy and learn through all of their senses. Parents understand that they are to send their children to preschool in clothes that may get covered in mud,paint, food, and a variety of other age-appropriate products. Children should arrive at preschool in shoes that allow them to run, jump, ride bikes, climb and be a child safely. Children have the choice to remove their shoes on the playground if the teacher determines it is safe.
